I have been researching my Clement line in Windsor with some success, but I have many questions. I am planning a visit to Vermont sometime in the future. Can anyone provide of places I should visit or books I should look to for answers. I will list what I know below with the questions I have. Percival Clement produce a book, Ancestors and Descendants of Robert Clements in 1927 that includes Jacob Clement who was born in New Hampshire. According to this book, the first three of eight children were born in New Hampshire. The others birth state is unknown per the book. According to Census records, we know the two youngest were born in Vermont. The children are Martha (who married Martin Row(e) on 15 Apr 1813), Edna or Edner, Sarah, Stillman, Mary, unnamed child, Theophilus and Jacob Eastman. Their mother was Sarah Hoyt, the daughter of Eastman Hoyt. Jacob Clement died intestate in Winsor district of Vermont about 1812. I have the probate records for his estate and the youth guardianship papers for some of his children. The children mentioned in the youth guardianship, dated 1 Sep 1813, are Edner Clement (minor above the age of fourteen; Reuben Kendall appointed guardian), Stillman Clement, Polly Clement, Theophilus Clement, Jacob E. Clement (all minors under the age of fourteen; Sarah Clement, their mother, appointed guardian) and Sarah Clement (minor above the age of fourteen; Sarah Clement, her mother, appointed guardian). In Jacob's probate record, there is a mention of a son, who was placed under the guardianship of Matthew Patrick before Jacob's death. This son, Ira Clement, is not mentioned in the book by Percival Woods. Here are my questions. Where do I find birth records for the children? Where do I find out more about the guardianships of Edner and Ira Clement (which I believe to be apprenticeships)? Where is Jacob buried? Did Sarah Hoyt Clement remarry or not? Where is she buried? Where would I find this information? Is Polly the same person as Mary or another child? Where can I find the death records and burials of their children? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi, Kevin. When I was in Windsor, I spent two days researching at the Town Clerk's office. They have records from the very earliest to the present day plus an index file. The early records include births of children born elsewhere to Windsor residents. The clerks allowed me to take digital pictures. Although the record room is fairly dark, don't use flash. It will eventually destroy the early records and the later ones are enclosed in plastic sleeves. I did all my photography hand held because I had so many pictures to take, but had no problem being able to read the document pictures (although some were a tad shaky and I wouldn't want to post them on the web). If you have a problem in that area, a small tripod that allows you to shoot downward would work well if you are taking just a few pictures. A second good source is the history room at the public library on State St. You might also want to check the Town Clerk's office for West Windsor for early records, as Windsor was divided and undivided a couple of times early on. I forget exactly where that office is, but there is a list of Vermont Town Clerks on the web. Incidentally, I found all of them to be very helpful and no one objected to digital photographs.
